Let’s talk carbon fiber stocks

[wolf34]

I’m building a lightweight hunting rifle. 7prc defiance action, what are yalls thoughts between Peak 44 Bastion, Pure Precision Altitude or McMillan gamewarden stocks. I want a vertical grip and I’m not a fan of chassis’. Anyone have experience with these?

The bastion is decent design just has a pretty short lop at 13.25 and you have to bed it. The pure precision is a poor design the Monte Carlo drop in heel increases muzzle flip and felt recoil. If you want a McMillan get the mountain tracker LR. its plug and play and a McMillan so you know it'll be quality and the negative comb above bore is going to be easier to control and help reduce muzzle flip/reduce felt recoil. It's also a little heavier than the other two which will be better in a magnum imo.

Manners w mini chassis by a mile for carbon stocks

The McMillan Mtn Tracker LR is a fantastic stock. The ergos are lil different with the negative comb and near flat toe line but they shoot amazing.

Trying to go light as possible, the bastion is a solid choice. Manners with a mini chassis, the few I've had did benefit from a skim bedding. One the mini chassis was crooked to the barrel channel, so it was sent back. I would go McMillan over Manners and I've had several of both.

If it's strictly a hunting rig for a manners, I prefer the pro hunter without mini chassis and doing a pillar bed is going to be the lightest most multi purpose config. I'd still take a Mtn tracker LR over all them.

UM rokstok, ugly as F, very very shootable, tracks just a lil better than the Mtn tracker lr due to the 0° toe line, but availability is poor and fit and finish are not always as they should be as they're made by stockys. They're much more affordable tho.
